ON Tuesday. Lifted ten story build
ing from its foundation and dropped it
back again in mass of ruins, burying
therein twelve persons. The explosion
was followed by fire which was with
great difficulty put out by the firemen. The
search for the dead then began. All of

ment Newman and his family lived over
the store. The force of the explosion was
terrible. The fine block of buildings north
of and across the alley from the exploded
building was gutted by the blast. The
Newman block was crushed i'll and was
covered by the roof which had settled up
on the ruins ana formed a barrier through
which the rescuers had to cut their way.

capped death by miracle and was the on

Mining Circles Excited.

PHTLIPsBURG. November 3.-The inter-
ests in the parallel tunnels of the West
Granite and Bi-Metaliic companies was
greatly augmented today by a strike in
the West Granite Elizabeth tunnel. The
header was in sixty feet on the lead when
twenty inches Of gold quartz were encoun-
tered on the hanging wall, dipping to the
south in Elizabeth The ASSAYS of the
quartz have not been made public but it
is understood that the prospects are high
" satisfactory. The header of the Bi-
Metallic tunnel in the Fannie Parnell is
about twenty feet from the Elizabeth north
line and in county rock with no signs of u
lead. The West Granite people conf
dently claim that the strike is in the lode
from which the Bi-Metallic is now taking
its rich ore in the James g. Blaine. Ex-
citement runs high in both Philipsburg
and Granite, and West Granite stock is
held at twice the figures asked forty ght
hours ago.

Butte Rejoicing.

BUTTE, November 2.-The Inter Moun-
tain has special dispatch from New
York saying that lake copper is 1914 cents
and casting brands, which includes the
Montana product, II ID cents. These are
higher prices than for two or three years
by about 20 per cent, and if continued will
make an immense increase in the value Of
the camps output The low price of cop
per has caused much uneasiness here in
the past, and the fear that the copper mines
would all be compelled to close down has
retarded greatly the growth and prosper
ity of Butte. Therefore it may be readily
seen with what feeling of relief the good
news from New 7 ORR is received The
Alice mill, which has been closed down
for the past month, may start up again in
few days on ore from the North Star
mine at Salisbury for which the company
yesterday rendered DR.. Mussigbrod

Il large body of free milling silver ore of
rather low grade but much better than

severalty bill "A council held by the
Sioux chiefs at Standing Rock to-day was
called to consider the question. All the
principal chiefs expressed their epinion
freely among themselves. All but Gall
said they had always felt friendly towards
the whites. Gall arose with dignity and
said he would talk differently. He ex-
pressed the utmost confidence in and
friendship towards the whites. Gall
was frequently interrupted by the APP
plause of his followers, who constitute
the majority of the young braves. Sitting
Bull had nothing to say. He is very jeal-

that the Indians continue to arrive at the
camp in large numbers. Sword Bearer is
bringing all his influence to keep them

irving will number six hundred, mostly
cavalry. Their camps extend over mile
up and down the Little Horn. The older
Indians are trying to get the authorities

MR.. PENCE TALKS BACK.
He Gives His Side of the Scandal
Ventilated by the Cincinnati
Enquirer.

The Independent that reached US yes
terday. contained salacious morsel of
scandal in the form of reprinted "An-
derson, Qnd.,) special to the Cincinnati
Enquirer containing number of serious
charges again>tWash Pence, the proprietor
OF the Great Falls livery stable. 1t is set
forth that he abandoned his wife and
farm six years ago and afterwards became
enamored of two women at the same time,
with very natural result-one he mar
ried and the other sued him for seduc-
ton, placing the value of her outraged
affections at $4,000. All of this, however,
does not amount to much, the serious
charge being that the grand jury of Madi-
son county returned an Indictment against
Mr.. Pence for arson, the alleged ground
for it being that he burned his livery
stable at Anderson. These are the state
ments set forth in the special" with the
usual coloring.
A TRIBUNE representative called upon
Mr.. Pence to-day to hear his side of the
story and ascertained what truth, if any,
there is in the mass Of scandal He talk
ed frankly and fully on the subject, .ad-
nitting that he had had trouble with his
first wife, from whom he was divorced.
This, he thinks, is misfortune that has
happened to many a good man. The rest
of the woman story is in part true, but
not dishonorable on his part, as the world
goes. As to the charge of arson, he in
dignantly denies it and states that when
his barn was burned he had not less than
$1,000 worth of property in it, while his
insurance only amounted to $1,000. In
regard to the Indictment, he has never
heard of it, although it is well-known at
Anderson that he now reside at this
place. 1t is not likely that the court off,
GERS would disclose the fact that an in
dictment of this character had been found
before the arrest was made. He says he
is willing to stand trial before the people
of Anderson where he has lived and done
business for many years and that the best
citizens of that city will vouch for his
integrity. He is inclined to lay all the
blame for stirring up this matter upon a
former resident of Anderson and who for
some time past has made Great Falls his
headquarters. This person is now sup
posed to be at Anderson.
During his residence here, Nr. Pence
has been successful in business and
strai ghtforward and honorable in all his
dealings. The TRIBUNE is inclined to
accept his side of the story in preference
to the other until some stronger evidence
is brought forward.

expects to leave for Springfield with an
amnesty petition on Monday. In answer
to an inquiry he replied: Il am always a
hopeful man, and | will hope for amnesty
until there is no longer any ground for it"
1t has been suggested by seveal attorneys
that the defence combine for the purpose
of delay. If nothing else they could ap-
ply for writ of lunatico.
CHICAGO, November At has been
suggested that a writ be applied for to
determine the sanity of the anarchists.
Capt. Black said of this: at might be
done. but these brave fellows would never
consent to it. would not give it a second
thought"
